Hi there! Nice to meet you

Darko

Dear visitors, my name is Darko, I've been in love with Croatia since the first day of my life and my goal is to pass that love to You.

I was born and raised in Split, pearl of the Mediterranean sea and since forever I am fascinated by history, culture and nature. At the beginning of my career I worked in Croatian national theater and in Split city museum as an official tour guide and that experience with knowledge I got from my older colleagues helped me a lot and gave me a big impulse in becoming freelancer.

Today my full time job is producer of cultural events but my true passion is tour guiding.

As I am scuba diver, hiker and big fan of football, I incorporate all those hobbies and knowledge in my tours.

I cannot recommend this tour enough! Darko was amazing knowing all the best spots. It was worth the cost for a private tour as he was able to cater it to our dietary preferences, and even arrange some unique experiences to make the most of our time. He also shared some brief history along the way giving us more than just a good tour. It was the best way to see the city and it was clear he had some great connections with the locals also giving us recommendations for the rest if our trip. It was an incredible experience and we are so grateful we did it!!Absolutely the best!!!

De gids was zeer aangenaam en sprak de jongens ook aan. Naast de geschiedenis kon je hem alles vragen. Zelfs over de voetbal wist hij alles. Zeer geslaagd!Aangename tour met een toffe gast

Darko did a family tour with us in old town Split and his historical knowledge was impeccable. His English is also excellent, so we were able to follow easily. He also provided several recommendations for things we could do on our own time by using our rental car. Would definitely recommend working with him when in Croatia.Super knowledgeable

Darko was an excellent host, and very informative about the history of Split. He is obviously very proud of Damatian cuisine, and showed us a nice selection of typical foods. We'd happily recommend him to others. Informative and Friendly

Upon arrival in Split, we had a fantastic 2-hour tour of Split’s Old Town with Darko. I was traveling with my 80-year-old father and my sister, and Darko made the experience enjoyable and accessible for all of us. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and open-minded, and he tailored the tour to suit our pace and interests. It was the perfect blend of fascinating historical insights and stories about modern-day life in Split. I can highly recommend booking a tour with Darko – it truly enhanced our visit. Thanks a lot Darko. Fantastic tour of Split’s Old Town

We had a fantastic few hours with Darko in Split learning about the local history and also Croatia. A lovely look through the highlights of Diocletian’s Palace before our first tasting of ten!! The food stops were all wonderful local gems and certainly didn’t disappoint. Darko also explained the history in a unique way due to his vast knowledge. He made it interesting and dynamic. Thankyou for a fantastic tour and a fabulous introduction to SplitIncredible local food and history in Split
